Overview of this book

The book begins by giving you a brief introduction to setting up your NAV environment and shows you how to install and configure it according to your requirements. You will then dive deep into the latest design patterns, network architecture, and topologies. We will show you how you can integrate NAV with the Microsoft platform, and secure your deployment by managing roles and permissions. Moving on, we will explain how to monitor and manage server instances using the Administration tool. We’ll discuss how you can take advantage of the expanded extensibility and connectivity capabilities for a tighter integration with the cloud as well as handheld devices. Then, we’ll show you how you can make use of the PowerBI capabilities that have been built into Dynamics NAV. By the end of the book, you will be confident in developing and administering a Dynamics NAV implementation that will leverage all of the new features.

Preface

DotNet interoperability


Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 has added the interoperability feature with the DotNet Programming language. Support for DotNet was first introduced in the previous version of NAV in exchange for automation control. Now in Dynamics NAV 2016, it is possible to use a wider range of .NET objects directly in C/AL programming by creating the .NET type variable, as shown in the following screenshot:

In the preceding screenshot, you can see that, in codeunit 1290, there is a variable of type DotNet with System.Net.HttpWebResponse.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' as Subtype, which cannot be directly implemented in C/AL code.

The DotNet objects can be implemented on both the server side and the client side. There are limitations to using .NET in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016, which are typically solved by creating Wrapper DLL objects in C#. The Excel interface is also an example of this.
